====================
tipc: resolve message disordering problem

When TIPC receives messages from multi-threaded device drivers it may
occasionally deliver messages to their destination sockets in the wrong
order. This happens despite correct resequencing at the link layer,
because the upcall path from link to socket is not protected by any
locks.

These commits solve this problem by introducing an 'input' message
queue in each link, through which messages must be delivered to the
upper layers.

      tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast reception · cb1b7280
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during
unicast message reception.

Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the
same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving
buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps.
First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an
arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where
destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful,
the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input
queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like
in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the
one of the input queue.

      tipc: simplify socket multicast reception · 3c724acd
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The structure 'tipc_port_list' is used to collect port numbers
representing multicast destination socket on a receiving node.
The list is not based on a standard linked list, and is in reality
optimized for the uncommon case that there are more than one
multicast destinations per node. This makes the list handling
unecessarily complex, and as a consequence, even the socket
multicast reception becomes more complex.

In this commit, we replace 'tipc_port_list' with a new 'struct
tipc_plist', which is based on a standard list. We give the new
list stack (push/pop) semantics, someting that simplifies
the implementation of the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv().

      tipc: simplify connection abort notifications when links break · 708ac32c
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The new input message queue in struct tipc_link can be used for
delivering connection abort messages to subscribing sockets. This
makes it possible to simplify the code for such cases.

This commit removes the temporary list in tipc_node_unlock()
used for transforming abort subscriptions to messages. Instead, the
abort messages are now created at the moment of lost contact, and
then added to the last failed link's generic input queue for delivery
to the sockets concerned.

      tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message reception · c637c103
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer,
before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the
upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible,
and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different
threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they
reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates
the sequentiality guarantee.

We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure.
Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the
link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the
receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing
buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple
simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce
the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also
reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks.

This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable
performance degradation.

A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions
tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that
will enable future simplifications of those functions.

      tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for outgoing packet chain · 94153e36
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The list for outgoing traffic buffers from a socket is currently
allocated on the stack. This forces us to initialize the queue for
each sent message, something costing extra CPU cycles in the most
critical data path. Later in this series we will introduce a new
safe input buffer queue, something that would force us to initialize
even the spinlock of the outgoing queue. A closer analysis reveals
that the queue always is filled and emptied within the same lock_sock()
session. It is therefore safe to use a queue aggregated in the socket
itself for this purpose. Since there already exists a queue for this
in struct sock, sk_write_queue, we introduce use of that queue in
this commit.

      tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval() · e3a77561
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The function tipc_msg_eval() is in reality doing two related, but
different tasks. First it tries to find a new destination for named
messages, in case there was no first lookup, or if the first lookup
failed. Second, it does what its name suggests, evaluating the validity
of the message and its destination, and returning an appropriate error
code depending on the result.

This is confusing, and in this commit we choose to break it up into two
functions. A new function, tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), first attempts to find
a new destination, if the message is of the right type. If this lookup
fails, or if the message should not be subject to a second lookup, the
already existing tipc_msg_reverse() is called. This function performs
prepares the message for rejection, if applicable.

      tipc: simplify message forwarding and rejection in socket layer · 1186adf7
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      Despite recent improvements, the handling of error codes and return
values at reception of messages in the socket layer is still confusing.

In this commit, we try to make it more comprehensible. First, we
separate between the return values coming from the functions called
by tipc_sk_rcv(), -those are TIPC specific error codes, and the
return values returned by tipc_sk_rcv() itself. Second, we don't
use the returned TIPC error code as indication for whether a buffer
should be forwarded/rejected or not; instead we use the buffer pointer
passed along with filter_msg(). This separation is necessary because
we sometimes want to forward messages even when there is no error
(i.e., protocol messages and successfully secondary looked up data
messages).

      tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and link · c5898636
      Jon Paul Maloy authored 
      The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the
own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of
passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between
functions just to make them able to obtain this address.

However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address
is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and
tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead.
The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c
anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures
makes this option even more compelling.

In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node()
and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node
address from those structs instead of having to pass along and
dereference the namespace struct.

In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c}
context independent by directly passing them the own node address
as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as
leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to
keep them namspace unaware.

Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these
changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow
later in this series.
